Walk to School Day

International Walk to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and biking to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Over time, this event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration – with record breaking participation – each October. Today, thousands of schools across America – from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico – participate every October.

There are many different ways to show students, families and communities that walking or bicycling to school is a fun and feasible way to travel. In general, events are structured three ways.

1. Walk or bicycle from home
2. Designated starting points
3. Walk or bike AT school
